So Foodbuzz is having their first even food blogger awards. Click here to get your nominations in. I did.

Anyway, I told you I was ready for the fall. I've made myself a lovely fall soup to prove it. Creamy kabocha soup. Or squash or pumpkin soup, if you'd like to call it that.

I made this one is completely vegetarian, but you may substitute chicken broth for the vegetable broth, if you'd prefer. I love the orangey-yellow color of it. Screams autumn, don't you think? I finally figured that I could use my blender to puree stuff. Why did it take me this long to figure it out? I don't know, but I'm glad that I did, so this means more lucious creamy soups to come. But I still would love an emersion blender. I used to have one, but I don't know what has happened to it since. I think I've mentioned before that I hate watery soups except if there's tons of bits and chunks in it.

This soup isn't overly thick and just right to coat the spoon with every slurp.

Garnished it with a little fresh dill and i was ready to go. The weather was perfect for this lovely soup. The evening have been cool, just the way I like it. I had this with a side of baked zucchini sticks.

I almost picked up a kabocha earlier at the store (I have never bought one), but then I wasn't sure what to make with it... See, there was a reason why the kabocha called my name. I'll just have to go back and get one! :)
